JACKSON — A “pay-as-you-throw” warrant article for trash disposal was the only item not to pass at an otherwise straightforward annual town meeting at the Whitney Center in Jackson on March 14.
Supported 3-0 by the board of selectmen, Article 16 — the pay-as-you-throw article — was defeated by a show of hands, according to Town Clerk Karen Burton.
